Sony seems ready to launch new headphones (probably the Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones) according to two recent product deposits with the US ‘FCC and the Singapore IMDA.
Although the device is not called the XM6 explicitly in one or the other deposit – instead, the two deposits label it just as easy to receive YY2984 – The device is very similar to a Sony WH -1000xm5 updated, and the few details that the deposits share suggest that it is indeed a new entry into the line of the flagship headphones of Sony.
We say little details because short -term privacy agreements prevent these regulatory organizations from sharing all of the specification information, except the most fundamental and some future products diagrams. This means that we are still in darkness on many details and that we will not have a clearer image until Sony officially shows.
By saying that, according to the small information we have, we can start painting an image of what the XM6 could be able and when we could try them by ourselves.
What do we know about Sony’s new headphones?
1. The release date could be close
Although none of the deposits tease a precise release date for the new Sony headphones, they at least suggest that we will not wait much more time to try these cans by ourselves. Indeed, the confidentiality of the FCC deposit should expire in July this year, the date on which more precise details on the aircraft would be revealed to the public and spoil any surprise that Sony has in store.
As such, we expect the new headphones to land for some time before the first half of 2025. Sony previous headphones began months before this expiration date, so that we can be on the right track for A release of April or May. However, your assumption is as good as ours when it comes to nailing things further.
2. Fast load and Bluetooth 5.3
Due to confidentiality, many specifications are always a secret, but we have gleaned some details of the deposits. The first is the management of the rapid load, as we have already seen in the Sony headphones with a reference to a 9V load alongside 5V, although there is no word on the ability of The battery to help us bring in its execution time.
However, we have seen that the new headphones are defined to obtain Bluetooth 5.3, a step for the 5.2 used in the Sony Wh-1000xm5 headphones, which should offer a more stable and energy efficient connection. Although it may initially seem disappointing that the headphones do not support the last Bluetooth 5.4 standard, they are more intended for commercial and intelligent objects of the Internet of Things. The advantages it offers would not do much for the XM6, speaking sound.
3. Maybe no driver change
This one is difficult to judge, but as the Walkman blog also suggests, the diagrams of the WH-1000XM6 seem to show an unchanged driver of its predecessor-30 mm. Compared to the 40 mm pilots in the XM4, the smallest equipment of the XM5S has led to a more detailed and tighter sound, so even if it will probably not change audio between the XM6 and what before, that will not necessarily be A bad thing.
